35 results about "Process automation system" patented technology

A process automation or automation system (PAS) is used to automatically control a process such as chemical, oil refineries, paper and pulp factories. The PAS often uses a network to interconnect sensors, controllers, operator terminals and actuators. A PAS is often based on open standards in contrast to a DCS (distributed control system), which is traditionally proprietary. However in recent times the PAS is considered to be more associated with SCADA systems.

Ai-Driven Cross-Platform Workflow Automation Using Computer Vision And Machine Learning

An AI-driven robotic process automation system learns and replicates user workflows across web, desktop, and legacy applications using computer vision and machine learning. During training, the system observes user actions with visual and structural UI context, segments the sequence into reusable tasks, and synthesizes a generalized workflow model. At runtime, a hybrid locator fusing vision with DOM / accessibility metadata binds abstract actions to live controls, while a self-healing subsystem detects anomalies and applies recovery actions. A continuous learning loop updates models and task definitions from execution telemetry so automations remain effective as interfaces evolve. The result is resilient “learn-once, run-anywhere” automation that reduces brittle scripting and maintenance overhead.
